DRYING TECHNOLOGIES OF THE FUTURE

Abstract

This paper reviews the recent advances and general trends in drying technologies of industrial interest. Numerous emerging technologies are listed with emphasis on the following five areas: Carver-Greenfield Process for drying of sludges. superheated steam drying, pulse combustion drying, high intensity drying techniques for paper and the novel impinging stream dryers. Potential application areas for the new technologies are identified.
